How did you get this camera for $1900?

[Gerschanel]

this looks great im thinking of buying a camera all i can afford at the moment is second hand fx 1,after seeing this footage im rreally looking forward too using it , but im really scared it will be too complicated for me to use when i get it. how did you get this footage to look so rich ,is it your lens? is it your editing tools? i need to find out so much information befire i buy this dont i? can any one help me?

[Claytongp97]

My dream camera. How much did you pay for it?

[habitatskater89]

I paid $1900 for it when I had it, sold it for $1800 not too long ago. You should look at the Panasonic HVX200 or more up to date cams. Fx1 is totally outdated with using tapes (can't shoot full HD resolution) and no XLR Inputs.

[editedbyfailure]

the HVX uses P2 cards, which cost fucktons

[dylz777]

@habitatskater89 but then why are people still buying the sony fx series and there quality sucks ass??!!?! I DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!!! lol

[Cr381v3]

why firewire? i never use it, what's it good for? faster transfer, right?

[habitatskater89]

why? because firewire is a constant stream of data, and when you need to capture video in 'real time' the data must be kept constant. using usb (short bursts of data) will not work.

[mresbenesben]

hi, I was just wondering if theres any other outputs but firewire to your computer?

[habitatskater89]

the only output to computer is firewire yes

[frandfors]

What rendering settings did you use for this video?

[habitatskater89]

If I remember correctly it was exported full quality as a Quicktime video with MP4 Compression.

[LukeNervous]

How are you liking the movements of the Davis & Sanford tripod? Do you have any complaints?

[habitatskater89]

I love it, it peforms extremely well in many different shoots. Weddings, baptisms, horoscope shoots where it is completely still, and skateboarding. It is extremely durable from lugging it around back and forth from NJ and NYC

[LukeNervous]

Thanks for the response. After 5 months I'm finally getting it for my birthday I can't wait to finally have a fluid tripod!

[boneless63]

ho wmuch does thos camera cost?

[MATT2productions]

$2,024.99

[boneless63]

im getting a Sanyo Xact VPC TH1 can u tell me what kind of editing program u recommend

[ibanezgr]

Final Cut all the way

[habitatskater89]

Look into the Adobe Production Suite with Premiere Pro and After Effects

[RALLYING4LIFE]

WOHOOOOOO I'm Irish :P

[TomTube92]

hey how much did you pay for this camera... also would you say it is a good camera for making films??

[habitatskater89]

I got it for $2k and it is great for making films. It does use minidv tapes but I like having that as a back up since hard drives can fail.

[13manbearpig13]

I want to see a film that was shot with one of these....do you know of any that you could link me to?

[dayboyy24]

go to my profile, look under favorites, and look for determinism trailer. its looks badass (:

[robpoleki55]

does FX1 use Mini DV tapes or memory stick?

[habitatskater89]

Mini DV Tapes, I use HDV tapes which supposedly have better quality.

[puupydoger]

Holy Moly this is amazing, I'm getting one for Christmas! :)

[em3rica2k2]

do you have any idea of the image comparison between the fx1 and the fx1000?

[habitatskater89]

No sorry, I'm not too familiar with the fx1000

[chirogirl67550]

Amazing footage...beautiful clarity of video...and on Youtube to boot!!! Does the camera have an place for external mic, so you can pick up good sound? We're looking for a better cam right now....appreciate the info.

[habitatskater89]

Thank you! Yes the camera has a mic input jack, I bought the Rode Video Mic and used it for a wedding, let me tell you it was amazing audio. Definitely a good investment.

[chirogirl67550]

Thanks for the info... I would imagine you have XLR input for the audio...lucky duck!!! (smile)

Yvonne and bob

[habitatskater89]

No problem, actually there are no XLR inputs, the Rode Video Mic works off a 3.5mm jack ( I think thats the size) but it is possible to buy an XLR adapter if you wish!

[chirogirl67550]

Thank you...that's interesting...3.5mm, with XLR capability...that just opened up several other paths to take...thank you so much!! I know what I want, just having a hard time zeroing in on the exact camera...love yours!!! Appreciate it!.
